Creamy no-bake Biscoff cheesecake with a crisp speculoos biscuit base, smooth Biscoff filling, and glossy cookie-butter topping. An easy make-ahead dessert that sets in the fridge.
Use full-fat block cream cheese and bring it to room temperature first. A soft spreadable cheese can make this no-gelatin filling loose.
Whip the cream to medium peaks, not stiff peaks. It should hold its shape but still look smooth before you fold it through the cream-cheese mixture.
Chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before adding the topping and slicing. The set becomes noticeably cleaner with a full overnight chill.

Line the base of a 20 cm springform pan with baking parchment. Crush the Biscoff biscuits to fine crumbs, then mix thoroughly with the melted butter.
Press the crumbs firmly and evenly over the base of the pan using the bottom of a glass. Chill while you make the filling so the base sets.
Beat the room-temperature cream cheese briefly until completely smooth. Add the Biscoff spread, vanilla if using, and salt, then beat only until evenly combined.
In a second cold bowl, whip the double cream to medium peaks. Fold one third into the Biscoff mixture to loosen it, then fold in the remainder gently until no streaks remain. Do not beat after the cream is added.
Spoon the filling onto the chilled base and smooth the top. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until the centre feels firm when the pan is gently nudged.
Warm the topping Biscoff spread in short bursts or over warm water until fluid but not hot. Pour it over the cold cheesecake and tilt the pan to cover the surface.
Scatter with crushed biscuits if using. Chill for 10 minutes to set the topping, then release the pan, slice with a hot dry knife, and serve cold.

Everything you want to know about this recipe.
This no-bake Biscoff cheesecake pairs a crisp biscuit base with a smooth, cookie-butter filling and a thin glossy topping. It is intentionally a rich dessert, so the recipe makes eight modest slices and does not add icing sugar to the filling. The sweetness comes from the biscuits and spread themselves.
The structure relies on cold whipped cream and a long chill rather than gelatin. That makes the method straightforward, but the details matter: use full-fat cream cheese, whip the cream only to medium peaks, and give the cheesecake time to set before slicing.
Room-temperature cream cheese beats smooth without lumps. Cold double cream whips more reliably, and folding it in preserves the air that makes the filling light enough to slice. Do not whip or beat the mixture once the cream has been folded in, as it can become grainy or lose volume.
Six hours is the minimum chill; overnight is more reliable, especially if the kitchen is warm. If the cheesecake is still soft, return it to the refrigerator rather than trying to rescue it in the freezer, which can affect the texture.
Warm the topping just enough to loosen it. Very hot spread can soften the chilled filling, while a cold spread will drag across the surface. Use smooth Biscoff for the cleanest finish, or add a few crushed biscuits for crunch.

Keep the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator and serve within 3 days. The biscuit base softens gradually as it sits, so it is at its best within the first 48 hours. Freezing is not recommended for this version because the whipped cream filling can thaw less smoothly.

Use full-fat block cream cheese, whip the cream only to medium peaks, and chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours. A loose cream cheese or an under-chilled filling is the usual cause of a soft set.
Yes. It is best made the day before because an overnight chill gives the filling its cleanest slice. Add the topping on the day, or keep the finished cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use smooth spread for the cleanest filling and topping. Crunchy spread can work in the filling if you prefer small biscuit pieces, but it will not give the same smooth surface finish.
Chill the cheesecake fully, run a knife under hot water, dry it, and wipe it clean between cuts. A cold filling and warm dry knife make the biggest difference.

Rich, spiced, and very straightforward. I skipped the extra biscuit topping and it still looked great.
This was my first no-bake cheesecake and it set beautifully. Warming the topping gently made it much easier to spread.
I used a 20 cm tin as specified and the proportions were spot on. The salt made the Biscoff flavour taste less one-dimensional.
The overnight chill gave me really neat slices. The filling was soft and creamy without being loose.
Super easy to follow and I already had everything in my cupboard. Perfect for lazy weekends.
Made this for my husband's birthday - not too sweet and so creamy. Everyone loved it!
